It's been reported the actress will take on an actual design role with the recently launch Halston Heritage collection, a less expensive version of the brand.

While often considered a living fashion plate, donning cutting-edge clothing on most public occasions, her wardrobe was most influenced by Patricia Field, the costume designer on the SATC television series and movies. Parker did lend her name to the Bitten collection she designed and sold at the now-defunct Steve & Barry's chain.

Halston, in the meantime, has had a revolving cast of characters involved with its repositioning since Harvey Weinstein decided to bring it back from the dead.

Jimmy Choo's Tamara Mellon is a backer and Rachel Zoe was meant to be a creative consultant, but she is no longer involved with the label. Designer Marco Zanini was hired early on and then fired. These days, it's designed by an unnamed team.
